Paul Ryan cant even convince Fox News that Republicans have a viable Obamacare alternative
GOP will absolutely, positively, offer an insurance alternative should the Supreme Court shoot down Obamacare VIDEO
Scott Eric Kaufman Follow
On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace demanded details from Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan about the Republicans secret plan for replacing Obamacare should the Supreme Court invalidate it, but the former vice presidential candidate refused to offer any.
Ryan said that should the Supreme Court deem the federal subsidies unconstitutional and leave six million people uninsured, the GOP has a solution that addresses this law. Well have a solution for the people caught in this law, so that theyre not caught in the lurch.
His offer of providing people both insurance and freedom from Obamacare was extraordinarily vague, though, so much so that Wallace became visibly annoyed. For all the complaints, he said, were five years into Obamacare and Republicans have still not come up with a coherent plan that will ensure that all of those millions of people will get coverage.
Ryan repeatedly refused to offer specific details about what the Republicans freedom from Obamacare insurance plan would entail, offering instead political platitudes. We will have an answer, he said, sounding less like a politician and more like a kid at summer camp trying to convince his bunkmates of the existence of his Canadian girlfriend. We will have a solution. .......

(75,480 posts)4. Since the ACA is the same plan The Heritage Foundation had on their website for
years, where do the Republicans go from there? They are boxed into a metaphorical box canyon. They can't move forward so they have to go back out and they can't say that out loud.
